THE FIREHOUSE BROWNE WHAT’S THE DEAL?

Firehouse Subs Brownie — THE DETAILS

The Firehouse Subs Brownie is a meatless offering and consists of ooey-gooey, fudgy brownies served warm. It is prepared in-house, including the right amounts of chocolate chips and other ingredients, to complement their subs and Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookie. They deliver that perfect brownie texture — where there is a balance between a moist interior and a slightly crisp, candy-like crust.

Texture: soft, gooey, and fudgy inside with a crisp top—just how I love my brownies to have that perfect chewiness and chocolate flavor.
Flavor: Full of fudgy decadence, it satisfies casual dessert fans and chocolate purists. It is not just any basic brownie, as every bite has an intense cocoa flavor.

HEALTH BENEFITS

Now, brownies are usually thought of as a treat, but they also have some benefits due to the chocolate in them. Rich in flavonoids, dark chocolate is associated with numerous health benefits when eaten in moderation. Although the brownie itself is quite a decadent dessert, chocolate in moderation can provide you with these benefits:

Enhanced Heart Health: Several studies indicate that flavonoids present in chocolate could improve circulation and decrease blood pressure, two aspects of heart health.
Improves Mood: Chocolate promotes the production of feel-good neurotransmitters like serotonin and endorphins, which can boost your mood and decrease stress.
Cognitive Function: Dark chocolate, along with other benefits for the body, helps to improve cognitive function, which can help keep your focus and memory in top condition.

However, since the brownies at Firehouse Subs are filled with sugar and added fats, they should still be eaten in moderation.

ALLERGEN INFORMATION

Based on the allergen information provided, some customers may be allergic to the following:

Gluten: The gluten warning is for those with celiac disease and gluten sensitivities, as the brownie does contain wheat.
Dairy: The brownies also contain dairy, including butter and milk; there may be individuals who are lactose intolerant or allergic to milk proteins.
Eggs: Most brownies contain eggs, and some people are allergic to eggs, so this is a significant concern for those individuals.
Soy: The brownie may contain some soy, which is another common allergen.

If you have food allergies, please check with the nearest Firehouse Subs for additional allergen information.
